VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis issued his latest encyclical on Thursday, in which he denounced a world that "is losing its heart" during times of global turmoil marked by "wars, socioeconomic disparities and the uses of technology that threaten our humanity."
The encyclical, titled "Dilexit Nos" — Latin for "He Loves Us" — was issued to coincide with the 350th anniversary of St. Margaret Mary Alocoque's first apparition, which helped spread devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, revealing his love of humanity.
